Capture Qing Wu, Make Her a Pet

"Hall Master, what is it?"

Qing Wu still did not dare go upstairs.

She had truly begun to fear Qian Yunxiao.

"I have a few things to discuss with you. Come with me."

Qian Yunxiao's tone was gentle, but Qing Wu still did not dare follow him.

Yet when Qian Yunxiao's gaze turned serious, she ultimately followed him to the door of her own room.

She could not run away.

Not to mention Qian Yunxiao's own strength.

With just a single order from Qian Yunxiao—

the Ice Empress could make Qing Wu behave.

"Qing Wu, open the door. I have something to show you."

Qian Yunxiao gestured for her to continue.

Qing Wu took out her key and opened the door.

Being alone with him made Qing Wu feel extremely nervous.

"This is something I need your help examining. Qing Wu, take a look."

Qian Yunxiao took out a large iron cage.

The instant Qing Wu saw the cage, her expression changed.

"Hall Master, you... what are you doing...?"

Yes, considering Qian Yunxiao's previous behavior, Qing Wu was truly afraid that this iron cage had been prepared for her, that he intended to lock her inside it.

Qian Yunxiao explained, "This iron cage was made for those three fellows downstairs. Qing Wu, you are also a Soul Beast. See whether this cage will impose any restrictions on those three."

Yes, Qian Yunxiao had considered that Qing Wu was also a Soul Beast and could offer some advice.

Only then did Qing Wu relax.

So it was not prepared for her... Th-that was good.

"Hall Master, this iron cage probably will not do much to those three Soul Beasts, especially that strongest Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. An ordinary iron cage simply cannot trap it."

Qing Wu earnestly offered Qian Yunxiao her opinion.

"I know. I do not necessarily need to control them with it; it is just for appearances. Do you think the exterior needs any changes?"

Qing Wu shook her head. "Personally... I do not think it is necessary."

Qian Yunxiao did not dwell on it and casually put the iron cage into his spatial Soul Tool.

He had prepared this thing for the Ice Empress long ago.

"Qing Wu, what were you afraid of just now? You did not think I was planning to lock you inside, did you?"

With the serious matter more or less settled, Qian Yunxiao began teasing her.

"Hall Master, do not talk nonsense. I never thought that."

Qing Wu hurriedly averted her gaze, refusing to meet Qian Yunxiao's eyes.

Honestly, Qing Wu really had worried about that.

Qian Yunxiao said frankly, "You are Ah Yin's sister. How could I treat you like that? I know rabbits are easily frightened, but rest assured, I would never harbor any intention of harming my friends."

With Qian Yunxiao's current stockpile, one Beast Taming Ring would be enough to make Qing Wu obedient.

But Qian Yunxiao did not do that.

First, there was no need to waste a Beast Taming Ring.

Qing Wu was practically already in Qian Yunxiao's grasp. She could not escape.

Qian Yunxiao only needed to spend a little more time. There was no need to waste a Beast Taming Ring.

Second, compared to using such a crude method as a Beast Taming Ring, Qian Yunxiao felt it would be more fulfilling to win Qing Wu over from the heart and make her submit willingly.

As for why Qian Yunxiao treated the Ice Empress that way—

the reason was actually very simple.

First, the Ice Empress did not obey.

Second, the Ice Empress was not human now, but a Soul Beast.

Naturally, Qian Yunxiao could not treat the Ice Empress as he did humans like Ah Yin and Qing Wu.

When the Ice Empress eventually took human form, Qian Yunxiao would certainly change his attitude toward her as well.

"Mm~"

Qian Yunxiao's words had somewhat touched Qing Wu's heart.

She even regretted having misunderstood him just now.

How could she have thought such things about Qian Yunxiao?

Sigh! Thinking of this, Qing Wu felt a little sad.

Qian Yunxiao's conduct over the past few months—

he was simply the perfect husband, the perfect father.

He was exactly what her and Xiao Wu's family lacked most.

Unfortunately... he was her younger sister's husband!

Was it really right for her to have such thoughts?

If Youlan can join them, then... can I join too?

For no reason, this thought appeared in Qing Wu's mind.

She also seemed to want to join Qian Yunxiao's big family.

"I will be leaving first. You have been traveling with us lately, so you must be exhausted too, right? Get some rest early."

Qian Yunxiao had no intention of staying in Qing Wu's room for long.

One had to eat one bite at a time. He could not act recklessly, much less become fat in one gulp.

When dealing with Ah Yin, Qian Yunxiao had been very patient, spending a full hundred days.

Likewise, he had more than enough patience when dealing with Qing Wu.

"Hall Master, there is something I would like to ask you."

Just as Qian Yunxiao turned around, Qing Wu spoke up.

Qian Yunxiao was somewhat surprised. "Qing Wu, what is it?"

Qing Wu asked softly, "Hall Master, may I know the full story between you, Youlan, and Ah Yin?"

Those words let Qian Yunxiao know this was a good sign! A good sign that Qing Wu was revealing her thoughts!

After hesitating slightly, Qian Yunxiao said, "The story between Ah Yin, Youlan, and me is rather long. It cannot be explained in just a few words."

It was not actually that long.

It was merely that Qian Yunxiao needed to carefully revise certain parts of the process, which would take some effort.

"If you do not have anything else to do, Hall Master, I am willing to listen."

After saying that, Qing Wu made a welcoming gesture, inviting Qian Yunxiao to sit.

At the same time, Qing Wu went to pour him tea.

Looking at Qing Wu's pair of pink, slender legs, Qian Yunxiao chose not to refuse and told her about their story.

"During Ah Yin's pregnancy, Ah Yin actually..."

Qing Wu found it unbelievable.

Shui Youlan had actually been... brought to him by Ah Yin herself?

Qian Yunxiao nodded and said helplessly, "Yes. Who knows what trick Ah Yin found somewhere? I had no choice but to accept Youlan and not disappoint her deep devotion."

At that moment, Qing Wu recalled the first day she had met Ah Yin.

Perhaps Ah Yin had been planning to find Shui Youlan at that time? As for Qian Yunxiao's claim that he had accepted her helplessly, Qing Wu felt things were definitely not that simple.

Perhaps Qian Yunxiao had noticed that something was wrong from the start and simply chose to play along.

Of course, that was only her guess. She had no evidence at all.

Qing Wu also realized that her next focus should still be on Ah Yin.

"I understand, Hall Master. Thank you for telling me all this."

After hearing the story, Qing Wu did not choose to keep Qian Yunxiao any longer.
